Features

  • FITS TIGHT BUILDS & CLASSICS Center-dump shorty headers for Gen 1 Small Block Chevy 265-400 V8 engines. Ideal for 1923-1957 street rods, Tri-5 Chevys, early trucks, and custom SBC swaps with front engine mounts.
  • WILL NOT FIT SIDE MOUNT OR CLAMSHELL SBC ENGINES Not compatible with vehicles using stock side engine mounts (1958+) or clamshell-style mounts (1973+). Header collector exits at center ports and interferes with most frame brackets in these setups.
  • DESIGNED FOR BLOCK CLEARANCE & EASY ROUTING Tight-tuck design keeps tubes close to the block and above the frame for clearance. 3/8" flanges, 1-5/8" primaries, and 2-1/2" 3-bolt collectors for easy exhaust hookup.
  • POLISHED 304 STAINLESS STEEL Durable, corrosion-resistant stainless with TIG-welded seams and mirror finish. Includes gaskets, hardware, and collectors.
  • CHECK YOUR BUILD BEFORE ORDERING Will not fit angle plug heads, power steering boxes (some Nova and G-body), or vehicles with steering box directly beside collector exit. Use with flexible dipsticks and short oil filters for best results.

  • Nice headers for price
Nice fit for my application bought hooker long tubes and they wouldn’t fit, in a fast hurry and was ready to fire up my build I purchased these and well I actually like them. Colored up nice gold with some blue and purple. For the price it was a good buy!

  • Headers won’t work Sbc nova
Will not work on 72 Nova SBC … can’t get by the power steering box … hits it would have to crush the tubes .

  • Almost but not perfect.
I was concerned about quality since these are notorious for being a little off. The fit and function of these was 100%. The reason for the 4 and not 5 is that they have visible dark welds on the exterior of each tube at the port. Clearly welded post polishing.

  • No dipstick room
These do not fit a Chevy 350 small block with oil dipstick on driver side. There is no room for the dipstick.

  • Fit real well like them
Got them on haven't used them yet doing a mock-up on putting it in the tractor 350 and a massive Ferguson 44 so I got to do a lot of mock up but they work real well
